Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9619052A2] It is known that the establishment of an interactive broadcasting network requires not only a transmission channel from transmitter to receiver but also a transmission channel from receiver to transmitter. The novel method of creating a data feedback channel from receiver to transmitter is implemented in a common frequency network and involves the use of a transmission procedure in conformity with the DAB standard. Each receiver or user is assigned an identification which is transmitted on specially reserved frequencies to request transmission capacity in the data feedback channel. A computer then allocates transmission capacity to the receiver. To synchronise the transmitter component in the receiver, the signals received in the forward channel are evaluated using the synchronisation symbols they contain. The novel process can be used in all common frequency networks which use data transmission in conformity with DAB standard and ensures a particularly economical synchronisation in the receiver.
